VS Code 1.136 release notes confirm experimental multi-root workspace support in the editor window. Developer @Marwan_3atef notes enabling chat.agentHost.copilotAgent.multiRootEnabled (and the Claude twin) lets Copilot/Claude Chat operate across every folder in a multi-root workspace. Hooks still pin to one primary folder, so monorepos with multiple .github/hooks trees must pick a home base.
